Garry - i feel the same. this represents the classical ethical double-bind. since not transfusing a hemorrhaging patient could rightly be characterized a departure from standard accepted medical practice, then how can we expect a physician to knowingly commit malpractice? another way to look at this is to compare this to the issue of physician - assisted suicide. my views are similar to Bernard's. i would tell the patient that i would respect her views unless she truly needed blood. it would be interesting to see how those in The Watch Tower would view the use of artificial hemoglobins.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
